Supreme Court ends affirmation action

Why would this be a problem? If the top-95% of applicants are Chinese then they absolutely should be accepted. There will certainly be more at Harvard since Asian-Americans are the ones who pushed for the lawsuit against the school for discrimination.

I'd be all for it, but it's not going to happen because too many politicians on both sides of the aisle (and their kids) benefit from it.

If it were 1550, yes, even maybe 1450 (for exceptional circumstances like growing up in a bad project), but 1250 is too low.

Liberals always use this "Ivy League legacy admissions" boogeyman to counter opposition to AA

It conjures up images of trust find kids like an Andy Bernard from The Office

The major error in this right-wing justice ruling is they missed, "Schools can still seek out any STUDENT they want as long as they do not explicitly care only about ATHLETIC SKILL."

This SCOTUS will let the above stand, 6-3.

It’s amusing that this nonsense coming from the party of racism.

Like if a "party’s platform has previously advocated for, or been in support of, slavery or involuntary servitude."?

It is 9 am in Seattle. Don't you have a job? Or is that something you just troll about. Like complaining about your increased property tax bill, while posting on LRC that you are still waiting to buy your first home for real estate bottom to appear.

Blatant discrimination approved by fascist Republicans.

It obviously didn't go anywhere, but it is a great troll and question.

LOL ... downvoted by jamin within one minute.

As compared to your obvious weak trolls and race-baiting questions.

Yup, republicans.

We heard your cheering.

Democrats have always been the party of racism. Look how many are upset over the Supreme Court banning racial discrimination in college admissions today as well as their history in the mid 1800s

They're not really down voting your post. They are down voting YOU. Nobody likes you.

You take the point though? The purpose of affirmative action was to allow talented but underprivileged children/adults to level the playing field with admission. B-grade student in the worst high school in the country is more talented than an A-grade student at a private school.

As soon as the 14th Amendment became law, conservatives attempted to restore white racial advantages. This decision is continuous with that long campaign. The Supreme Court notably left standing all of those other unearned and de facto racial advantages for whites while denying the legitimacy of racial balancing to achieve equality and to make up for 400 years of discrimination against African Americans in particular. The victorious litigant Blum stated that this would allow true diversity in admission to triumph over the 'fake' diversity of racial difference and common upbringing and political views. What he means by that is no doubt that conservatives get accepted, not just the left (and what diversity remains acceptable under a regime like that in Florida where DeSatan's cronies drive out political opponents like the New College English prof just fired?). An argument for many different views and types of people as true diversity would be stronger and would apparently be sustained by this ruling.

Except a B student at 'the worst high school in the country' would likely have a very low SAT. There's a student with a 0.13 GPA who was ranked #62 out of 120 in his class.
